Electron Dominance
Why electrons control particle behavior in ionized environments
Full Analysis
Intel Stream Decrypted
Electron Dominance is the foundational principle that in plasma or ionized environments, the high mobility of electrons (compared to ions) causes surrounding matter to acquire a net negative charge. This phenomenon makes electrostatic forces (Fe) the primary driver of particle motion, often exceeding gravitational influence by orders of magnitude.
Strategic_Takeaway
"Electrons' high mobility causes negative charging of matter, making Fe dominant over Fg."
